This is very nice. But as smart and fabulous and giving and blah blah as I am, the truth is that an overwhelming majority men don't want a woman who is overweight. Even if they are overweight, balding guys.

Why don't you call a local vet or a local shelter? They probably have recommendations. You might also ask someone in the company to send out a notice asking for suggestions/apartment referrals.

This whole sign-in thing is so screwing me up. I keep getting error messages. I have to be signed INTO the google account at the time to sign in. I'm trying to figure it out.

Do you find overwhelmingly positive people annoying? I have one friend who is so frigging pollyanna, it is driving me crazy. For example, I lost my job. I loved my job. I have friends who had seniority and were able to stay. They won a giant award and a lot of money.

One warning - Dan Savage is not a fan of the fat people. I couldn't listen after a while.

Here are a couple specific This American Life episodes I LOVED

I'm so glad she's doing better. Poor kitty. What did she swallow?

DO NOT GET THE MILKSHAKE!! You should NOT suck on a straw for at least several days because you don't want to dislodge the blood clots. That causes horrible pain and can cause infection.

Wow, 30 + cats. I'm terrified that's going to be me in 10 years. I also got pneumonia this week and was blown off by a guy I really liked last week.

I think in the last episode he made some comment about her being 26.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you knew him and misunderstood the relationship.

How about..

Actually, I do the Kripalu Yoga video. They are skinny but older and I like that. Write them and ask them to do a Bigger Body Yoga video!

Girl - Have you ever watched Bridezillas? Those are some of the worst psycho whiny women alive and they are getting married. If you wanted to marry ANYONE, you could.

That's why I watch the Biggest Loser. I love Ruby and it seems like she has a really good heart. But her voice got on my last. nerve. That high-pitched childlike thing? no.

It's not that you're moving around so much, it's that the moves are aimed at massaging your internal organs and that gets things moving. Don't freak out about the farting. It's mostly women. I really try to eat lightly before a class and no soda. But people fart all the time and my teacher says "Ah, the yoga is…

I'm glad you found something that works for you. But the truth is - 98 percent of people who lose the weight gain it back and then some.

It is ABSOLUTELY a value judgement. Because people say it like it's simple and easy.

The people who say "all you need to do is eat less and work out more" have never had a serious weight problem. They just want to feel smug and self-righteous. It's like telling an alcoholic to just put down the glass.

Why is this? It's both tummy and emotionally more satisfying to have say, nachos or buffalo wings than say, a salad or roasted beets.
